Rumble...

Continuous and deafening thunderclaps echoed from the dome of the sky, making ears ache and heads dizzy with the intense vibrancy.

The land was shrouded in pitch-black darkness, only intermittently illuminated by blinding streaks of lightning piercing through the cloud layer. The scattered flashes provided a vague view of the natural features surrounding.

With every flash and thunderclap, a torrential downpour ensued.

This was Lien Yang Gate's back mountain situated in the Jiuyang Continent, home to an abandoned dilapidated woodshed.

Under the sporadic illumination of lightning, one could see a pale-faced, bloodstained young boy, with ragged clothes, lying helplessly on the moist and grimy woodshed floor.

At that moment, the boy curled up in oblivion, showing no signs of consciousness. If not for the faint vitality he was clinging on, one would assume him to be dead.

Crack...

Suddenly, a lightning bolt as stark and huge as a water barrel shattered the clouds, firmly striking the top of the decrepit woodshed within a blink.

Immediately, the already dilapidated shed could no longer stand the sky's fury. With a resounding 'crash,' it completely collapsed — having fulfilled its purpose.

Yet, the culprit of this wreckage — the lightning didn't disappear with the shed's demolishing. Contrarily, it headed straight down towards the unconscious boy lying on the ground.

Aaaaah...

Just as the lightning struck the boy, he let out an ear-piercing, chilling scream, startlingly awakening from his oblivion.

Simultaneously, the lightning, which could have charred the boy to a cinder, transformed into luminous energy, drilling directly into his physique and ultimately vanishing.

Within the next moment, the boy, who previously had his eyes tightly shut, abruptly opened them in shock.

"Where am I?"

With the intermittent flashes of lightning, the boy glanced over his woebegone self, feeling the weight pressing down on him, and taking in the somewhat unfamiliar surroundings; he couldn't help but voice his confusion.

"Hmm?"

As his puzzlement heightened, the boy desired to struggle and rise. However, as soon as the thought entered his mind, and his body barely moved, an intense wave of pain rapidly radiated throughout his whole body, spreading towards his brain.

In this moment, the boy's brain almost short-circuited. Distinctively intense pain almost made him faint, but he used the willpower of a superhuman to persevere, not allowing himself to pass out.

"I'm not dead yet? Wasn't I assassinated to death?" Feeling the weak vitality within him, Chu Yun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

With a thought, Chu Yun involuntarily smigrated back to scenes that took place before he lost consciousness.

He was a peerless genius of the contemporary Earth, a mere eighteen years old and already one of the Earth's paramount powers, ranked amongst the strongest on Earth.

At a young age of eighteen, Chu Yun's brain development had already reached fifty percent, this was almost the highest brain development that a person in contemporary Earth had reached.

Therefore, on Earth, he was called a freak, abnormal.

However, Chu Yun was young and arrogant. Although he was among the strongest at the time, he didn't lack for enemies, and his opponents were notably powerful.

Not long ago, Chu Yun accidentally fell into a conspiracy and was ambushed by the twenty peak powers of the world besides him, ultimately being defeated and fallen.

However, what comforted Chu Yun slightly was that, in this battle, he had also killed more than ten of the peak powers.

"I guess that's a win!" Chu Yun chuckled, but the smile tugged at his wounds and he couldn't help but groan in pain.

"Hmm? What on earth is going on? Before dying, didn't I see my body smashed into fragments? Why am I still not dead? Hmm, and why is this body so weak? It's even weaker than when I was eight years old." Chu Yun was puzzled and looking at his own body, a bitter smile crept up on his face.

"Could it be..." Chu Yun's face suddenly changed, a manic gleam of joy appearing in his eyes: "Could I have crossed over? Could I have reached another world? Haha... Ah, what pain!" Chu Yun burst into laughter but immediately afterwards, a pang of pain a hundredfold more intense than he had ever experienced abruptly exploded within his brain, soon spreading throughout his body.

Simultaneously, a barrage of information, like tumultuous waves, surged into the deepest recesses of Chu Yun's brain.

Chu Yun's mental capacity had been developed up to fifty percent. He could handle an enormous amount of information. But the information that flooded into his mind now was just too much.

In the end, Chu Yun's eyes rolled back in his head, his vision went black, and he passed out.

The unconscious Chu Yun didn’t notice that after he fainted, streaks of electric light began to emerge from deep within his head, continuously roaming around on his body's surface.

At a distance, he appeared just like an electric humanoid.

About a half an hour later, the world regained its tranquillity, the heavy rain finally stopped. However, the world was shrouded in darkness.

The dormant Chu Yun let out a painful hum, consciousness returning once again.

"Worthless Chu Yun? So the memories that just entered me were from this body. I really did cross over..." Chu Yun's face showed a complicated expression.

The original owner of this new body shared the same name as Chu Yun from Earth, but they led radically different lives. This Chu Yun of the Raging Sun Sect was a good-for-nothing, unable to cultivate. In the Raging Sun Sect, he was even regarded as more worthless than swine.

Before Chu Yun crossed over, he'd been beaten half to death and discarded in this abandoned firewood shed. If not for Chu Yun crossing over, this Chu Yun of the Raging Sun Sect would have truly been done for.

"From a genius to this state…" Guiding the memories of the Raging Sun Sect's Chu Yun, Chu Yun couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

As it turns out, the Raging Sun Sect's Chu Yun was also a genius, at least within the Raging Sun Sect. He was even regarded as the most hopeful disciple to break through to the Inner Qi Realm.

However, the Raging Sun Sect's Chu Yun and Earth's Chu Yun do share a similar personality. Both are somewhat reckless, relying on the protection of their respective Masters, they both acted arrogantly.

However, a year ago the Raging Sun’s real person left the Raging Sun Sect, disappearing without a trace, leaving his life or death unknown. Just a few months after the Real person of the Raging Sun left, Chu Yun was schemed against.

His cultivation was completely ruined, his body growing weaker day by day. The most terrifying thing was, regardless of how he trained, he could not gather any power.

In other words, he had thoroughly become a useless person.

"If I'm useless, then so be it. I'd rather cling to a miserable life than die easily. Besides, with my aptitude, couldn't I carve out a place for myself in this so-called Nine Sun Continent? Once I regain my cultivation, I will cut down all those who plotted against me." A cold sneer surfaced in Chu Yun's heart; he got up and was about to leave.

However, at this moment, a wave of information, thousands, tens of thousands of times more massive than before, surged into Chu Yun's mind from nowhere, like a shocking wave.

Chu Yun let out a miserable scream: "Damn it, will it ever stop? How can there be a second wave?"

His voice had not yet faded when his vision went black, and he fainted for the second time.

This time Chu Yun only woke up in the late night, when the sky was already bright.

Clip-clop, clip-clop...

Chu Yun slowly opened his eyes; a flurry of footsteps was approaching from the distance.

"Chu Yun, you big waste, are you dead yet?" A person's voice, arrogant, cocky, and filled with intense contempt, traveled from afar even before the person was in sight.

Chu Yun's face darkened, a chill flashing across his eyes. He hadn't seen the person yet, but he recognized the voice.

It was Yi Changsheng.

Enduring intense pain, Chu Yun slowly rose. However, his injuries were too severe, and the pain almost made him faint again as he struggled to stand.

"All these damned people will pay back a thousandfold one day!" Chu Yun swore in his heart, the cold light flashed in his eyes. Even though those who had beaten him had their faces covered, he was certain it was Yi Changsheng and his crew.

At this point, five young men finally appeared in Chu Yun's sight.

The man in the front is Yi Changsheng, the grandson of the Elder of the Solar Gate. With formidable power under his belt and merely eighteen years of age, he's already stepped into the first phase of Qi Condensation stage. His prowess is recognized as an unparalleled genius within the Solar Gate. Of course, compared to the previous Chu Yun, he is still arguably lacking.

This man is the sworn enemy of Chu Yun. During Chu Yun's prime, Chu Yun has had him taught a few lessons, and, therefore, he has held a grudge since then. The day before Chu Yun lost his cultivation abilities, he, with an unmatched arrogance, sought out Chu Yun for a duel.

At the time, Chu Yun was high-spirited and agreed immediately. Little did he know that he would be ambushed that very night following his acceptance of the challenge, and turned into a cripple.

Such obvious actions are certainly the work of Yi Changsheng. Of course, if Yi Changsheng isn't strong enough, then it must have been the Elder of the Solar Gate behind him.

One of the few Internal Qi stage powerhouses left in the Solar Gate, he's more than capable of wiping out a Qi Condensation stage cultivator like Chu Yun. Chu Yun didn't even know who attacked him.

"Waste, you haven't died yet?" Yi Changsheng strolled over, showing disdain on his face.

Although Chu Yun's face was pale, he gave Yi Changsheng a very calm look. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I am alive and well. Move aside, good dogs don't get in the way. Master Chu has places to be."

A chilling intent flashed in Yi Changsheng's eyes, and he was about to slay Chu Yun out of irritation. But he controlled himself. "Heh, Young Master of the Solar Gate, the great Chun Yun waste, don't forget your death match in ten days. Though with your state, you're as good as dead."

At the words, Chu Yun's facial muscles twitched violently. When it rains, it pours. In his condition, even a child could stab him to death; how could he duel with Yi Changsheng on stage?

However, he had made a promise before. Now that Chu Yun possesses the body of the Solar Gate's Chu Yun, he has to bear all this without escape.

Moreover, Chu Yun found out that after fainting for the second time, more memories flooded into his brain. Seemingly he has already fused with the soul of the Solar Gate's Chu Yun?
